fare hike 2025

The fare hike 2025 tag on WindowsForum.com covers the Indian Railways fare rationalisation implemented from December 26, 2025. This policy raises basic fares for longer journeys while keeping suburban services, season tickets, and short ordinary trips unchanged. The increase is modest per kilometre but applies broadly to ordinary non-AC passenger services beyond 215 km and Sleeper/First-class journeys. The tag includes discussion of the graded flat increases and the unchanged suburban travel, providing a focused look at this specific fare adjustment.
